Comments:
A quick overview of peaks climbed in June 2024 is here.
I had climbed Sagra earlier in the day. I started walking at 1635 and arrived at the summit by 1700, so less than 30 minutes up. Pretty good views. Descending in about 15 minutes. I noticed that big warning signs had been posted in several locations, some sections had the trail run between wooden railings.
